Tick Tick

A place so wide and alone,

I could hear the thoughts of the people I was around,

I went quite and only asked myself why.

As time passed by my vision changed and I started to see real life;

The ones with me start to bare the hurt they feel then they start to bleed.

I see them get wounded.

They try to hide the bruises under their clothes but the bandages they show.

I can hear their blood flow and their heartbeats getting slow.

They look straight and they don't say like a cold breeze froze their face.

I see their eyes and I realize;

My life will be nothing to idealize.

I have read the writing on the wall, I would have preferred staying in the dark.

Looking at them I want to run far.

Their gazes tell me I can't help at all,

Then my mind stops and the tears start to drop.

They won't talk and I know someday I will be where they are,

I will fall, just like them I will crawl.

The wounds that they hide deepens each night,

Eventually they walk out of my life.

A part of me dies

And I want to see them one more time.

I wanted them to be alright.

I don't know why but I was paralyzed.

So, the clock ticked and ticked,

All the days I missed and the decisions I can't fix.

I wanted the time to stop but it kept moving still.

Held my breath as my peace of mind ripped to shreds.

They didn't tell me but I could have helped,

But winter came and our lives turned blue and pale

And I feel alone again.

What a shame.
